🔍 Key Concepts

• How to read the sleeve (barrel) scale of an inch micrometer (each numbered division is 0.100 inch, each short line is 0.025 inch) • How to read the thimble scale (each division is 0.001 inch) and add it to the sleeve reading • Making sure you use the correct figure ("1") in GS-0094 and line up with the horizontal reference line

💭 Think About

• First, count how many full 0.100-inch divisions are clearly visible to the left of the thimble edge on micrometer 1. What value does that give you? • Next, how many additional 0.025-inch increments are visible beyond the last full 0.100 mark? Add that to your first value. • Finally, which thimble line exactly lines up with the horizontal reference line on figure 1? Convert that to thousandths of an inch and add it to your sleeve total. Which choice matches your sum?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you are only counting marks fully visible to the left of the thimble edge on the sleeve scale • Confirm that each thimble division really is 0.001 inch, so 10 divisions = 0.010 inch, 20 = 0.020, etc. • Double-check your final number against the choices to ensure the hundredths and thousandths digits match your reading (e.g., .800 vs .820 vs .850 vs .875).
